Walls and rooflines in An t-Àth Leathann
An t-Àth Leathann is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Broadford Parish Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in An t-Àth Leathann
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We’re often asked to deal with damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, on gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and roofline trims.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in An t-Àth Leathann and across Highland.

Do you need gutter sealing in An t-Àth Leathann?
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
In and around An t-Àth Leathann, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

What the job involves on each surface
Gutter end caps
Stop ends hold back water at the end of a run. A failed seal makes them leak.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.
An t-Àth Leathann questions
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like An t-Àth Leathann any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is An t-Àth Leathann in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and An t-Àth Leathann is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
No. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
